No lets examine this article. This is the name you always confuse and state that Mercy USA and Mercy International (In Canada) is associated with. This is why you are wrong.
Have Mercy, its a completly different organization then the one you keep saying is in Canada.

FBI Mum on Embassy Bombing Clues

NAIROBI, Kenya (AP) -- Searching for clues in the East Africa
embassy bombings, authorities staged a pair of raids but were
tight-lipped about what evidence, if any, was uncovered.
Investigators were still describing their probe into twin
bombings of U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania as being in the
preliminary stages, even two weeks after the Aug. 7 attacks --
and even after the United States launched cruise missile strikes
it said were in response to the embassy bombings.
Neither the Kenyan nor Tanzanian governments has made any public
comment about Thursday's U.S. strikes on targets in Sudan and
Afghanistan, which the Clinton administration said were tied to
terrorist activity.
Instead, American and Kenyan investigators widened their net. On
Friday in the Indian Ocean coast town of Malindi, five glove-clad
FBI agents and two Kenyan police officials made a three-hour
search of a slum house.
Witnesses said the homeowner, a driver for the Labor Ministry,
was taken into custody.
That came on the heels of another raid, this one in the Kenyan
capital.
The FBI and Kenyan police raided the Nairobi offices of a Saudi
Arabian charity, the Mercy International Relief Agency, in
connection with the bombing, hauling away documents, computers
and cash, an employee said Friday.
A Kenyan employee, Shaban Hassan, remained in custody a day after
Thursday's raid, said Abdullah Ahmed, a charity secretary.
The Sudanese director, Mohammed Abdullah, has been missing for
three weeks, Ahmed said.
The FBI and Kenyan police refused to comment on either raid.
A Sudanese and a Saudi were arrested at the Afghan border
Saturday. Both were still being questioned, and have not been
identified.
The embassies in Nairobi and Dar es Salaam were the targets of
car bombings in which 257 people died, all but 10 of them in
Kenya. Twelve of the dead were Americans.
FBI Director Louis Freeh, who flew back to Washington on Friday
after visiting the two bombed-out embassies and conferring with
field agents, said he had made ``no final conclusions'' about who
carried out the bombings.
Freeh would not say whether evidence developed during U.S.
inquiries at the bomb scenes led to Thursday's American missile
strikes.
